Pinkie has a secret. So far, she's kept it from everyone, but Twilight can tell that something's wrong with her. So she offers what vague support she can… until Pinkie takes her into the basement to show her.

A short existential horror. Apple Bloom accidentally time travels a fraction of a second into the past, and realises she's the only one there. The world continues on around her, yet she's not in it.

The present is an infinitely thin span of time bordered by endless past and future. Everyone you know and love balances on that line. What if you fell off?

Written to be exactly 1000 words for the 1000 word contest (Horror).

Pinkamena "Pinkie" Diane Pie is Us. In crazy brilliance, We made Pinkie so strange that We would never be suspected, and it worked until the very end. An end that came about, not because We failed, but because of inescapable circumstance.

Now, We must run.

We do not want to think about what they will do to Us if they catch Us.

This is a comment-driven story! Each chapter features multiple choices at the end that commentators can vote on. If you want to participate but showed up too late, no matter! Read the Briefer at the top of the chapter list, which will be constantly updated with a summary of the story so far. If you simply want to read the story, that's fine too!

This fic is set in the universe of Equestria At War.

Death, profanity, violence, and sex tags are because I have no idea where this story might end up- they are not the main feature of the fic.

The Great War staggers on, but things are looking up for the United Ponies' Alliance. Vanhoover has just been liberated, the Crystal Empire is pushing into Yakyakistan, and Stalliongrad has just joined the fight against Chrysalis and her war clique. Meanwhile, on less violent theaters of the war...

S.M.I.L.E (Special Military Intelligence League of Equestria) has a problem. Specifically, two problems.

1. Their changeling agent infiltrating the so-called Great Queen's Tower has been discovered and captured.
2. There are no more available changeling agents to infiltrate the Queen's Tower.

Luckily for them, a new recruit has just finished training- former Vanhoover cop Agent Cold Strike. She's competent, deadly (well, she will be now that she's out of training!), and good at getting dirty work done. Minor issue- she's a unicorn.

It's time to get creative.

Will Agent Cold Strike manage to blend into the experts of blending in? Will she find what she's looking for? What is she looking for? An end to the war? A promotion? LOVE!?!?!!? That's for you to decide!

As you can tell, this one is going to have a goofy, all-around lighthearted tone, but the decisions made by the collective hivemind of the comment section will still have significant effects on the story- a series of misinformed decision could lead to a quick ending! Choose wisely.

The available options will be laid out as a series of multiple choices at the end of the chapter, marked A, B, etc. Vote simply by declaring one of the letters in the comments (along with any other observations you may have). These votes will be tallied at every Tuesday, at 12:00 PM (midnight) at GMT-0/UTC-0. A chapter with no votes will default to A (which will be the most 'reasonable'/safest option by default). Tied options will be chosen by dice roll.

Feel free to leave your thoughts, feedback, and criticisms in the comments.

It is the day of the Summer Sun Celebration, and Princess Celestia is coming to Ponyville. Twilight Sparkle is overseeing preparations yet again, and has meticulously planned every last detail to ensure that everything is perfect for her mentor's arrival. Nothing is going to go wrong.

Except when the big day comes, Twilight has gotten four hours of sleep and Fluttershy is nowhere to be found. Pinkie Pie sets off after her with nothing but a dark coat and the voice of a chain-smoking stallion, and the Apples and the Carrots are at each other's throats while Rainbow Dash is attempting to fill in for Fluttershy.

As her plans collapse around her and Ponyville descends into chaos, Twilight Sparkle must focus on obtaining the one thing that can set everything right: the all-powerful, awe-inspiring magic of caffeine.

Chrysalis is dying, and with her, the last of the Changeling race... but there might be a way to avoid extinction.

Lilac just discovered that her best friend was recently replaced by a changeling. That would be bad enough, but ever since the monster was outed she's found herself compelled by the strangest urges. Little does she realize that everything about her life is about to change...

Commissioned by Ching for Las Pegassist.

Princess Twilight Sparkle is living every little foals dream, something even she used to only dream of. Becoming a princess was wonderful, and feeling the love of those close to her made her feel ever so special inside. But as she begins to realize that she will need to start living a life without her friends, the very ponies who made her dream come true, she starts to fall into a sort of depression. The very thing a certain somepony has been waiting for.

It's a few weeks until Twilight Sparkle assumes the throne of Equestria, and Ponyville's come out in style to celebrate their homegrown Princess!

And after a whole day of songs, food, dancing, and entertainment, Trixie's on-hoof for the final act of the night. One last, blowout performance to win the hearts and minds of the ponies who once mocked her. It will be great. It will be powerful.

Let's just hope everypony survives.

Trauma touches everyone differently. For some the scars run deeper than skin, and Rainbow Dash hasn't eaten in days.
